Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has named quarterback Mitchell Trubisky the starter for Saturday’s preseason opener against the Seahawks.
As Pittsburgh navigates a quarterback change for the first time in nearly two decades following Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement, it will be the newly-signed Trubisky taking snaps with the first-team offense on Saturday.
The news that Trubisky is leading the pack behind center shouldn’t come as a surprise. Tomlin released a full team depth chart last weekend that featured Trubisky at the top with Mason Rudolph and rookie Kenny Pickett behind him.
